@Nadia Jones Starting and running a fund is a separate business because it's something that you need to actively market for and regularly work on attracting capital to invest in. 

They bring higher tenant turnover, limited cash flow, and attract traditional tenants who aren’t your ideal long-term buyers.

You say those don't BRRR & attract top dollar, the best value in BRRR right now is primo properties cause you're not getting a 1:1 on any upgrade you're getting higher.

Is 10% ($1,750) per month in simple, taxable, spendable interest very attractive after owning real estate that likely did not generate that kind of cash flow? 

Because the place is over-ran with the "bad", attracting more of the same, running off any "good". 

Low down payment (3.5%) is attractive, but comes with mortgage insurance and might not offer the best rates.

The purpose of marketing is to attract an in-person showing.

The older you get the less attractive appreciation is unless the goal is to leave some kind of legacy. 

I think it's going to be location specific for sure; where I am very few people hang out in the house all day long as they are usually busy hitting the parks and attractions. 

You can find them through local real estate investment groups or online platforms.Auction or Estate Sale: If the property has unique characteristics, especially being a large, old Victorian, it might attract specific buyers looking for such properties.
